Only the free content (through Security) has been completed. The rest will follow with the official release.

This site has not been optimized for performance. The module pages take the longest to load as there is the most information. This will be optimized in a future release.

This beta version of CoD has not been fully cross-platform tested. We recommend using Google Chrome on a desktop (PC/Mac) as that experience is most fully tested. You may notice problems on mobile devices.

If you have any other problems, please drop a line on the Feedback page.

My name is John Coppedge and I am the founder and primary contributor to CertifiedOnDemand.com. I have helped people become Salesforce certified since the inception of the certification program. I was one of the first 500 Salesforce certified in the world and hold many additional certifications.

I have worked with hundreds of organizations from a variety of verticals using Salesforce in different ways, including many of the world’s most sophisticated Salesforce customers (e.g. Fortune 100 and technology companies). I’ve done this from a variety of roles:

Served as the Salesforce implementation lead on large, complex, global deployments

Created and taught both administrative and end-user course curriculum to students ranging from novice to senior architect

Served as a lead technical sales engineer on closed million+ dollar deals

I love helping people get certified and build amazing careers in this fantastic ecosystem.

Exam Questions

To be completely honest, you can pass the exam on your own without any paid resources. But it will take you significantly longer to prepare, your chances of passing will be much lower, and you will likely find that you have knowledge gaps afterward.

The goal of CoD is to give you a very precise framework for learning and exam prep that will make good use of your time and ensure that you’ve retained the relevant materials.

There is generally a delay between when Salesforce releases a new version and when the certification exam is updated to reflect that release. See below to understand what release of Salesforce you are using today. When you register for the exam at Webassessor, you will see what release the exam covers by the code of exam. In this example, “SU15” refers to the Summer 15 release.

The version (Professional, Enterprise, etc.) of Salesforce is listed on the company information page within setup.

The release (Winter 17, Spring 17, etc.) of Salesforce can be found by selecting a standard application (e.g. Sales) from Salesforce Classic – the version can then be seen by looking at the application image in the top left.
